New Meta Podcast marks its tenth edition with the best episode yet, as Marco, Adam and Stan explore the key decisions you should make when playing carry. From the strategy phase all the way to the late-game, the most game-deciding decisions often fall at the feet of the carry, being the highest net worth and often most important hero on the team. The usual podcast suspects are here to shed light on how to navigate these choices.

#8 - DotA Nostalgia: Timewalk Down Memory Lane Mar 04, 2019

Show notes

A podcast episode about DotA's history? No one has ever done that! No one has EVER done that in the history of DotA! Join Stan, Adam and Guest Joe as they take a nostalgic plunge into DotA's past, discussing the funniest and most interesting 'features' of the game's journey from a custom map to a premier esport.

#6 - What's Meta? Heroes to Try as 7.21 Settles In Feb 15, 2019

Show notes

Adam and Stan sit down for a good old chat about the meta-game, focusing on 6 heroes to try in a patch that seems to be establishing itself a few weeks on from release. With Marco absent, the duo move from 2 heroes that dominate loudly: Lifestealer and Ursa (06:51), to covering a rising response pick in Razor (31:45). Visage is next in line, quietly remaining the highest win-rate hero in Dota (46:27), followed by Bounty Hunter (60:00) and finally Oracle (69:56).
